Except Mama Cass.

Finally I can take NumPy seriously now that it's been published.

Peter and his former student Dan McCarthy have done a lot of work on CLV calculations.

The output of a machine learning algorithm is code that no one was clever enough to write. In light of Kernighan's law, that should give you pause.

Is there ever a right time to relax meat safety rules?

Is there a non-paywalled version?

Probably in 2030 we're going to see a similar but smaller hit to those sorts of schools. What effect that has is anyone's guess right now.

You think it's bad now? Wait until you see what happens in 2026.

As many of you remember, the bottom dropped out of the US economy in 2008. As a result, many people delayed having children for a few years (or just decided not to). That means that the freshman class of 2026 is going to be significantly smaller than that of 2025, and that's going to shut down a large number of small and financially strapped colleges.

Not everyone on HN knows about C++11 threading. A "hello world" is of interest to some people.

Concentration of measure. If you have a quantity that depends on a large number of random variables but not too strongly on any small subset of them, it tends to behave like a constant. That's the intuition behind the law of large numbers, the central limit theorem, a bunch of concentration inequalities, and model averaging.
